Gianni Truvianni’s Life As A Writer


The life of a writer and all that it brings is what I seek for myself as it is when I am putting ideas that be my own on pen drive that I feel myself at total liberty to create and have things be exclusively as I wish them to be with place being not available for those compromises which are imposed upon us when dealing with others. To my interpretation being a writer means creating stories from my imagination and expressing in words the thoughts that my mind conjures up along with the ideas and concepts of life which I put on my pen drive and eventually on the internet or in print for others hopefully to read. This what I declare to be true for myself is the basic part of it though its amounts to very little if I fail to infuse my written work with the passion and vitality which be so abundant in me. With regards to my ideas it is not with the believe that others have not their own or that mine be higher in any form that I present them but in the hope of perhaps introducing those whose eyes should take in the sentences I put down with a new perspective of life or the world that I do so.

I can not speak for others in this world nor will I make attempts at guessing what it is they desire from life but for myself it is with all certainty that I claim that a writer and nothing else; do I wish to be. This choice of mine to become what I am; I feel is not so much one that I have taken but one my aptitude has imposed upon me or perhaps my lack of the same in any other field; depending on how one looks at it. This last point perhaps can be debated weather I have any talent or not by those who read my work however what I know with certainty is that it is my life’s adoration as my tempestuous nature lends itself to it like nothing else I have ever attempted.

In my book “What Should Not Matter”, there is a point stated that we all have one thing and primordially only one which allows us to put to use all that be our inner selves in a fashion that be useful not only to ourselves but those around us. Those whose abilities are geared toward leading others in actions that require coordination have the military; as was the case with Hannibal Barca or Julius Caesar; while those whose skills are geared toward creating stories and philosophy on paper in the shape of words and sentences have writing as did Cicero, Voltaire, and do I. This however weather or not I have writing as a means to let out what I am and posses; be not for me to judge but those to come in centuries to be, should I and my work survive the years before that point.

I, of course am aware there are many things I or a person could be that would earn him or her a large income and achieve success along with fame such as an actor, or politician, musician, etc. I however feel that as a writer I can achieve what I long for like nothing else and that being; a name capable of stretching across the boundaries of time which are years, centuries, millenniums as hopefully my work and name will not become part of the dust that is what did not endure. It is the weight of this burden or perhaps inspiration that drives me to deliver everything from my being and in this I say not even but specially my private life; excluding nothing from my work as I consider intimacy to be what one has an obligation to share if it be one’s true desire to be a writer.

Greatness is a point of view but from mine, it is what lasts that is and by this I mean not only the names of those who have lived but their creations for instance many will claim Alexander of Macedon to have been great as even this name was given to him but was he? This he may have been but if we regard his deeds then it is with little doubt that I can claim for my thinking they hardly if at all deserve the name. True; his was to become king at the age of 19 but then again this was not by his merit as he merely inherited a title at an early age, given his father, Philip died when Alexander was still young. This with even some holding the suspicion that Philip (the one-eyed) was killed by his son whose ambitions included wearing a crown at an early age. Regarding this fact we could also consider the fact that the aim of a man should not be to be king but how he may use his crown to serve those whom he rules as opposed to merely himself.

Returning to Alexander, he did create an empire but if we look closer; what did he have to do to obtain such a goal? Defeat a king who though possessor of a large army was neither a man of internal fortitude nor the tactical abilities that would have made his superior numbers count at Guagamela. This taking in to consideration that numbers alone are not what wins in battle specially since Darius’s men had training and equipment that was inferior to Alexander’s army; not that their motivation to win was of a nobler material.

In all this an empire Alexander did create or did he simply dethrone the man who ruled it at the time by taking advantage of his military incompetence and cowardice? This last point maybe one for debate but a large empire Alexander did survey at the very young age of 25 which he expanded in to a larger one. This was during his life time though in taking in to consideration his deed of building an empire; made almost exclusively through war, we should be aware that this empire disintegrated in almost as little time as it took to make. It is today however that we may look back at what was but this is just my point; it was and is no longer while the works of Fermi, Einstein, Wagner, Cicero, and so many others who created what changed the world and the minds of those in it still is. It is with the yearning that mine too be remembered that I dare even create it. For if we look at all else that includes personal fortune or fame; they are of little consequence but to the individual who has them and perhaps those who surround him or her for if time was able to erode both the Soviet and Roman empires; why would it not be able to do likewise with the personal fortunes or fame of individuals.

I for my interpretation of history have read about many a person but if we look at this factor with the eye of the philosopher; what are they but names on a page if there accomplishments also did not make it through time? This being the case for even Napoleon; who claimed that as great as his military victories were they could not equal his greatest feat, which was the implementation of the Napoleonic code, which has lasted till this very day. For if we really think the matter over; it is the deeds which changed the lives or perhaps mentality of those to come after which are what can be called great and not so much the individuals who were responsible for them. Some may think me naïve for even hoping; let alone expecting either myself or my work to reach this mark which I mention and to those who do so I hold no malice of deliberation toward. No, mine is not such but the will to demonstrate to them as well as others that include myself that sometimes it is believe and faith in one’s own abilities that makes the incredible happen more then actually having them.

My name is Gianni Truvianni, I am an author who writes with the simple aim of sharing his ideas, thoughts and so much more of what I am with those who are interested in perhaps reading something new. As for the details regarding my life I would say that there is nothing that lifts them above the ordinary. I was born in New York City in 1967 on May 21st and am presently living in Warsaw, Poland where I wrote my first book “New York’s Opera Society” now Available on Amazon.
